Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to assist surveying and spatial information services team members to collect basic spatial data in the field. Basic spatial data refers to measurements of distances, angles and heights. It includes participating in spatial data gathering activities, recording data in the correct format, using equipment in a safe manner, and completing and storing data and documentation.
This unit is suitable for individuals who are operating under supervision and preparing to enter the workforce. They use basic mathematical, cognitive, technical and communication skills to follow instructions and apply appropriate methods, tools, materials and information to undertake defined activities in a restricted range of contexts.
All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.
